Dissimulée dans l’un des plus sombres recoins de la constellation d’Orion, cette Chauve-Souris Cosmique déploie ses ailes brumeuses dans l’espace interstellaire, sur quelque deux années-lumière. Elle est illuminée par les jeunes étoiles nichées en son sein – bien qu’encerclées d’épais nuages de poussière, leur rayonnement baigne la nébuleuse. Trop faiblement lumineuse pour être aperçue à l’oeil nu, NGC 1788 révèle, sur cette image – la plus détaillée à ce jour – ses douces couleurs au Very Large Telescope de l’ESO.
